coatwith batter, salt and pepper and some cajun seasoning and your set for almost any game

Cgull pretty close, but I add a healthy dose of garlic salt and lemon pepper to the flour. Same as alligator tail.

Wrap it in bacon and grill it.

I have absolutely zero experience with rattlesnake but "wrap in bacon and grill" is my default cooking method for absolutely anything. I mean, it's bacon. How could it go wrong? :)

i love rattlesnake. i go with the flour and fry method.

If I had to eat the damned thing, I'd want it broiled, fried or barbecued beyond recognition, heavily seasoned, covered in onions, mushrooms. sauces and gravy, and not be told what it was that I was eating. Mystery meat.

One field mouse
Two tablespoons flour
One egg
Corn meal
Salt and pepper
Clean water

Directions:

Bite mouse. Use just enough venom to immobilize. Beat egg, and dip mouse using tail as a handle. Then dredge in flour, and roll in corn meal. Salt and pepper to taste. Then, still using tail to handle mouse, rinse all that stuff off of mouse. Position mouse so that head enters jaw first, and slowly swallow whole.
